Ding Fancheng!
Located southwest of Luoshen Gorge, this is on the edge of the Pill Domain, the border between the Pill Tower and other major forces in Zhongzhou. The city is filled with various forces, large and small, and the people coming and going are a mixed bag, making it quite chaotic.
Medusa and her companions didn't care about this. She and Lü Yu had seen even more chaotic places, like the Black Corner Domain!
That was absolute chaos of law and order; this place was still somewhat inferior to the Black Corner Domain.
However, now that they knew Lü Yu's location, there was no need to stay here any longer; it was time to leave.
The four women rested for a night at the inn and got up early the next day to head to the spatial wormhole.
"Sister Medusa, why did you get up so early? I'm so tired!" Zi Yan rubbed her eyes, still sleepy. She didn't usually sleep, but when she did, she slept a lot.
"Get off your sister Yun Yun first before you complain about being tired!" Medusa's forehead creased with annoyance, her pretty face hidden behind her veil.
"No way, it's so comfortable here." Zi Yan giggled, nuzzling her head against Yun Yun's chest, and said smugly, "Besides, it's much more comfortable here than yours."
Medusa glanced at Yun Yun's chest, then sneered. Is that so? I didn't expect that!
Yun Yun puffed out her chest, a smile curving her lips beneath her veil. You're talking nonsense!
Little Fairy Doctor looked at the two who were about to start bickering again, and smiled helplessly. She wondered if they would still act like this in front of Lü Qiu... Yes, they definitely would, that way they wouldn't have so much energy to deal with me and Lü Qiu!
Little Fairy Doctor's eyes crinkled, imagining the scene of the snipe and the clam fighting, while the fisherman benefits, and she couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Hahaha... Ladies, out so early?" Just then, a light, loud laugh rang out.
Three people slowly emerged from the shadows: the effeminate young man who had toasted them earlier, an old man, and a similarly young, slightly effeminate young servant.
The harmonious atmosphere among the four women froze instantly. A chilling aura emanated from their four beautiful eyes.
The white-robed youth smiled, his gaze slowly sweeping over Medusa and the other two women. Although their faces were veiled, their slender figures and graceful bearing suggested they were quite beautiful. If only he could get intimate with them…
Thinking this, a fiery glint appeared on the white-robed youth's face.
"Heh…" Sensing the undisguised killing intent emanating from the four women, the youth raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but unconcerned; he had seen this many times before. The
white-robed youth, still smiling, chuckled, "Ladies, I am Ji Yue of the Desire Immortal Sect. Greetings…"
"Get out of the way!"
Medusa interrupted before he could finish, her tone indifferent. She was never a patient person.
Back then, she had become famous throughout the surrounding four and five kingdoms in the Tagor Desert; powerful figures fled at the mere mention of her name. It wasn't her beauty that made her famous, but her fearsome reputation!
Having not wielded such power for so long, how many people still remember Queen Medusa, who once stirred up a storm of blood?
"Young Master, be careful! This woman is no ordinary person!" Beside Ji Yue, the old man's gaze suddenly sharpened. He felt a tremor in his heart, goosebumps rising on his skin, as if he were being watched by a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, sending chills down his spine.
Beside him, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes slowly changed, one beautiful eye turning gray and the other purple, a faint mist gathering at her fingertips.
The Desire Immortal Sect—unfamiliar, but one sounded like bad news!
Behind them, Yun Yun, who had initially intended to intervene, hesitated, but seeing Medusa and Little Fairy Doctor's battle auras coalescing, she immediately stopped, holding Zi Yan and watching quietly.
Dealing with just a piece of trash, they didn't need so many of them.
Zi Yan giggled; having a sister was truly wonderful!
Hearing the old man's warning, Ji Yue of the Desire Immortal Sect was slightly taken aback. He knew his uncle was not one to act rashly or make empty threats. This warning suggested these women might indeed be extraordinary, but…
Ji Yue gazed at the alluring curves of their figures, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily. How could he simply watch such captivating women leave?
Seeing the changing expression in his nephew's eyes, the old man frowned. He'd teach the brat a lesson when they got back today—outrageous!
"Young lady, my father, Ji Gong, I think you may have heard of him. How about we find a place…"
Ji Yue chuckled, ignoring Medusa's warning. With a flick of his finger, a wisp of pink mist slowly emanated, quietly spreading through the morning fog.
This was a special aphrodisiac from the Desire Immortal Sect. Just a touch would transform any ice queen or chaste woman into a ravenous, ravenous beast in the next second!
However, Medusa's gaze suddenly turned cold, and she took a sudden step forward.
Clang!
A crisp sword sound rang out!
Sword light, an incomparably bright sword light, instantly filled the entire world!
The killing intent was like a chilling breeze, piercing to the bone!
"You..." Ji Yue's hands and feet were cold and stiff; he stood there dumbfounded. Why was this woman going to kill someone without a word?
"A...a Dou Zun!?"
The old man cried out in alarm, instinctively reaching out to grab his nephew, intending to retreat. However, the next moment, his body trembled violently, and thin lines of blood gushed from his neck.
Two heads instantly flew into the air, hot blood splattering, and two headless corpses fell limply to the ground with a "thud."
"You...you actually killed the young master!" The young waiter pointed at Medusa in terror, his face filled with horror and fear.
"You're all dead! The Desire Immortal Sect is one of the top powers in Dingfan City. The entire city's entrances and exits, including the city gates and the spatial wormhole, are under their control. If you don't fall, you're dead..."
The waiter spoke in terror, but the more he spoke, the more his throat itched, and his voice became increasingly hoarse. He subconsciously reached out to scratch the itch, only to find that his skin and muscles were beginning to peel off. An overwhelming sense of suffocation enveloped his entire soul, and he died bit by bit in agony.
"The spatial wormhole is under their control?" Yun Yun frowned.
"Just destroy it, isn't that enough?" Little Fairy Doctor's gray and purple eyes darted around as she said calmly, "We may not be good at much else, but we excel at group attacks."
"Let's go, let's kill them all and destroy this Desire Immortal Sect!" Medusa drew her sword and moved, her chilling killing intent soaring into the sky in an instant.
Instantly, countless people in Dingfan City were awakened by this terrifying killing intent. They broke out in a cold sweat, their hands and feet turning icy cold. Had something terrible happened?
"Who? Who has the audacity to kill my son?"
Just as Medusa and Yun Yun and the other three flew out, a loud shout suddenly rang out, echoing throughout Dingfan City. A terrifying aura suddenly rose into the sky.
A peak Dou Zong, truly terrifying!
"It's Old Monster Ji, who dares to provoke him?"
"His son is dead?"
"Good riddance! That Desire Immortal Sect's techniques are lewd and evil, how many innocent women have been harmed by them? Good riddance!"
"Shh...shut up! Ji Yue is dead, but is Ji Gong still alive?"
"I killed him, what are you going to do about it?" A cold voice rang out calmly. Medusa raised her jade hand, and colorful light surged in the sky, dark clouds churning.
A seven-colored beam of light suddenly crashed down from the dark clouds.
Boom! The
seven-colored beam of light crashed down, a deafening roar erupting, violent energy ripples sweeping out, slamming hard into the peak Dou Zong.
"Pfft... Dou... Dou Zun?" Ji Gong, the sect leader of the Desire Immortal Sect, trembled, spitting out a mouthful of blood. However, he ignored his injuries, instead letting out a cry of alarm, staring in horror at the four figures of Medusa and her companions who were flashing towards him.
"Form the formation! All elders of the Desire Immortal Sect, form the formation!"
Ji Gong roared repeatedly. He was now locked in a life-or-death struggle with his opponent, and even if he begged for mercy, they would never let him go. His only option was to stall for time and wait for reinforcements!
However, just behind him, as the crowd surged and figures were about to form the formation, a wisp of gray mist quietly flew out and swirled around them.
"Wh...what?" The Desire Immortal Sect elders, under intense pressure, realized something was wrong, but...it was too late!
The elders, who had been so imposing, suddenly coughed up blood, their bodies swayed, and they collapsed.
"What's going on?!" Ji Gong, the sect leader of the Desire Immortal Sect, roared in anger. But in the sky, a vast expanse of cold light gathered, and a gigantic longsword materialized.
Medusa's eyes flashed with cold light, and with a flick of her sleeve, the longsword suddenly slashed down.
"Stop!"
Just then, a loud shout rang out, and a figure shrouded in icy aura flashed in.
Clang!
The longsword fell, blood splattering, but beside the enormous sword wound stood an old man in an ice-blue robe, carrying a figure that looked like a dead dog.
It was Ji Gong, the sect leader of the Desire Immortal Sect, but his right arm had been severed at the shoulder, blood gushing out.
Despite losing an arm, he was still alive. The figure in the ice-blue robe had barely managed to drag Ji Gong away from the sword.
"Damn it… how did the Desire Immortal Sect offend a Dou Zun?" The old man was drenched in cold sweat, cursing inwardly.
Ji Gong, however, was overjoyed, his old face beaming with delight. Thank goodness, reinforcements had finally arrived.
"This... senior, please show mercy! The Desire Immortal Sect is a subordinate force of my Ice River Valley!" The newly arrived man in the ice-blue robes said, forcing a bow, his posture very humble.
"Ice River Valley?" Medusa frowned. This force was much stronger than the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Although she wasn't afraid, she didn't want to provoke them carelessly.
"I won't kill you this time, but if there's a next time, even Ice River Valley won't be able to protect you!" Medusa said coldly, then led Little Fairy Doctor, Yun Yun, and Zi Yan out of the city, decisive and without any hesitation.
Ding Fancheng's spatial wormhole was unusable. Regardless of whether the attack had damaged or destroyed it, the mere suspicion that the other party had tampered with it was enough to make them give up.
Based on this, it was more appropriate to find another spatial wormhole.
In the sky, four figures sped away, flying towards another city with a spatial wormhole.
"How did the Desire Immortal Sect get involved with Ice River Valley?" Medusa frowned slightly.
"This area is the border between the Ice River Valley and the Pill Tower's territories," Yun Yun said. "It's not surprising that they maintain an outer force."
"Ugh...it's all poison!" Zi Yan suddenly exclaimed, her pink face contorted in disgust.
Yun Yun and the other two girls turned to look and saw that Zi Yan was holding a purple storage ring.
"This is the storage ring from the severed arm that Sister Medusa cut off," Zi Yan explained when she saw her three sisters staring at her.
Her use of spatial power was becoming increasingly proficient, and she easily pierced through the void to obtain the ring.
She had thought that a storage ring belonging to a peak Dou Zong would contain many treasures, but after examining it, she found that it was full of poison.
"Let me see..." Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly, took the storage ring from Zi Yan's small hand, and after a while, a cold jade box appeared in her palm. On it, written in bold, elegant strokes, were the words: Ice River Valley Special Tribute
. Upon opening it, a foul stench immediately wafted out.
"...It is indeed poison!" After reading it, Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly, her doubts only growing stronger.
It seemed that the Desire Immortal Sect was one of the forces responsible for helping Ice River Valley find rare and precious herbs, but...
Ice River Valley practices and is proficient in ice-attribute battle qi, shouldn't they be collecting medicinal herbs containing ice attributes?
Why are they collecting so much poison? What do they need it for?
...
Ding Fan City, the Desire Immortal Sect's headquarters was a scene of utter devastation!
The Desire Immortal Sect's leader, Ji Yue, hung his head dejectedly, like a defeated wild dog, utterly despondent. His son was dead, his sect destroyed, and even he himself had lost an arm.
Not far away, the Ice River Elder sneered, "Serves you right!
Although Ice River Valley is ruthless and merciless, killing without blinking an eye, even slaughtering entire cities and clans is nothing new, we would never do such dirty and despicable things as abducting women or drugging and poisoning them. Your Desire Immortal Sect deserves this."
But then, his gaze shifted, and he saw the gray and purple hues shifting on the faces of several elders from the Desire Immortal Sect.
"Eh? This...this is..." An elder from Ice River Valley stared at the destructive poisonous gas, instinctively grabbing a Desire Immortal Sect elder, channeling his battle qi into him to investigate.
"This...Calamity Poison Gas...it's pure Calamity Poison Gas!" A look of shock and ecstasy suddenly appeared on the Ice River Valley elder's face.
"Hahahaha...Ji Yue, come with me! Ice River Valley will definitely avenge your Desire Immortal Sect!"
The Ice River Valley elder laughed loudly, grabbing Ji Yue's other hand and rushing away into the distance. He needed to report to the sect immediately!
The Valley Master would definitely do everything in his power to obtain the Calamity Poison Body, that miraculous physique; those women were doomed!
...
The Pill Tower!
"Teacher, hasn't Lü Yu come out yet?" Cao Ying asked, somewhat bored, fiddling with a jade bead on her fingertip.
"Instead of worrying about these things, you should learn from Dan Chen and focus on mastering alchemy," Xuan Kongzi said without looking up, holding a scroll.
"Teacher, a new Lü Qiu has suddenly appeared in Zhongzhou, and his reputation as a genius alchemist is spreading like wildfire," Cao Ying continued. "Senior Brother Song Qing said he's going to meet that Lü Qiu."
"Oh, let him go if he wants... Hmm?" Before he finished speaking, Xuan Kongzi suddenly stood up, his expression shifting.
"Teacher..."
"There's been a change in the Star Domain!" Xuan Kongzi said in a deep voice. The black light curtain that seemed to devour everything suddenly receded completely like a tide. It seemed that Lü Qiu was about to emerge.
Star Domain!
The boundless black light receded, revealing the empty Pill Tower Star Domain within. Only one figure sat cross-legged, floating in mid-air.
"W-Where...where did that huge fire dragon go?" Hei Qing's eyes widened as he discovered that the enormous fire dragon, originally thousands of feet long and whose head and tail were nowhere to be seen, had vanished as if erased from thin air.
Meanwhile, Lü Qiu's aura grew even more powerful, a unified whole, obscuring his true strength.
"Lü Qiu, you..." "
The Three Thousand Burning Flames have been successfully refined," Lü Qiu smiled, flicking his fingertip, a wisp of purplish-black flame slowly igniting, the terrifying heat instantly distorting the space around him.
"Your strength..."
"It's improved a little," Lü Qiu chuckled, pinching his thumb and forefinger together, leaving a few millimeters of space between them.
